Do you think a multi-platform launch would have been possible with about the same effort? That’s the important question here. Also take into account developer experience and what skills Marco Arment has.

We are talking about a small project with limited resources and a developer with a certain skill set. I don’t think you can ignore that.

You can certainly ask for support on more devices and be disappointed that the magazine in the offered format isn’t a good fit for your devices – but I do not understand the apparent moral condemnation of that decision. It seems harmless and morally neutral to me – maybe ill-advised (in that it might doom the magazine), but not morally problematic.

I don’t really understand what you want to say. Do you honestly believe that he didn’t make the magazine multi-platform out of spite? That’s just ridiculous.

And the guy has a successful iOS app which recently launched an Android version. So your point is?
